6 Feelings Of Meeting Your Significant Other's Family For The First Time
Kevin Curtis

It is the first big step and such an exciting time when you get to meet your significant other's family. Not just their mom, dad, and siblings, but their entire extended family! You know it's getting serious when you need Nana. But there are many feelings that come with meeting all these new family members...

1. I hope they like me

You've picked out your outfit days in advance, practice your 30 second speech on academic and career goals, and study as much as you can about their family...but you still are anxious they won't like you.

2. What is their name again?

You met 2 sets of grandparents, 7 aunts and uncles, and 18 cousins when you walked in the door... How the hell were you supposed to remember everyone's name?

3. Yes please keep showing me pictures of my girlfriend in diapers!

You get to see adorable baby pictures of your significant other!

4. *internally strains every time I almost curse*

You've almost said 'damn' three times and 'shit' about eight. Each time you cover it up but you know your slip up is coming.

5. Oh, I'm not the first girl they've brought home...

When you find out the hard way you're not that special and they've met a girlfriend before.

6. When the pie is not as good as your grandma's...

You have to stay silent while eating a subpar piece of apple pie.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
